ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:

• The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the

back of the appliance;

PREPARING FOR USE

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air
conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are
unobstructed.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with your
appliance:

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the

appliance (Fig. 1).

• Fit the window outlet to the end of the hose.

• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.

Adjust the length of the hose to reach the window.

• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.

• Open the window or French window slightly and position

the outlet (Fig. 2).

• If you have a sash window, place the bracket on the

window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window
frame, fix the bracket by using the pin, then lower the
window onto the bracket. Insert the window outlet of the
exhaust hose into the slot, then connect the hose to the
air conditioner (Fig. 3).

• If you have a double window, use the sucker provided to

hold the two parts of the window together (Fig. 4).

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as
possible to avoid bottlenecks.
